Fair enough.

But in some ways, having uncompilable code is a *good* thing, because it tells 
you exactly where you need to work on the architecture.  Just updating it to 
*compile* removes that safeguard -- will you remember/re-find all those places 
where it *used* to block and convert the architecture to workaround the 
blocking?

I guess I'm saying: what exactly does updating it to compile get for us, if we 
know the code still won't work?  It seems like all we'll be doing is removing 
the grep-able places where we *know* we'll have to do work in the future.
